Farmer gets back gold ring he lost 61 years ago

A farmer who lost his nine-carat gold ring while working in a field in the Fifties has been reunited with it more than 60 years later.

Roy Beddows lost the ring – which was engraved with his initials – while working on a farm in West Felton, Shropshire, when he was just 17.

It was found by Robin Kynaston, a metal detectorist, who traced Mr Beddows after the landowner realised it may have belonged to an ex-employee of her late father.

Mr Kynaston said it had been “amazing” to return the ring to its rightful owner.
